Well, after five weeks with hazardous cables draped across a living room, a haphazard Internet connection, sleeping on twin beds pushed together, cooking out of a tiny kitchen, and getting glorious weekly housekeeping, we left the aparthotel for the greener pastures of our apartment. We moved in yesterday and we’re thrilled beyond belief. We love it! Although we have yet another week before our shipment (with most of our belongings) is delivered, we’re not exactly sitting on the floor eating out of tin cans, either. We have some furniture and kitchen appliances already and a loaner mattress to make our first week here far less barebones than it could be. I’ve included some pics so you can get a taste of our space in its nascent state. (Stay tuned to see more of its transformation!)
Our first hour in the apartment was a perfect demonstration of the division of priorities in our household. I immediately started cleaning and unpacking; Nate rushed to set up our Internet connection, lest we be reduced to early 90’s-era communication standards. (Oh, the horror…the horror.) But once I saw how insanely fast the Internet connection is here, I was (as I usually am) quite grateful for N’s quickness to act and get all that techy stuff dealt with. At this point, we’ve got a fully operational multi-media set up on my desk, and if you know Nate, you know this is NOTHING compared to what the scene will be once our shipment arrives.
This weekend was all about errands and setting things up. Although shopping for hardware and banal items like a dish drying rack doesn’t sound terribly exciting, it’s good times for us at present. We’re reaching the end of all the hard work involved in preparing for the move and actually doing it. Now that we have the blank canvas of a new home to work with, the fun can truly begin.
We had a brief visit yesterday from Candice, who is currently on her way to Morocco for a weeklong trek in the Atlas Mountains. It was great to have our very first visitor on our very first night – it made our still-spare apartment feel more lived in, not to mention how lovely it was to see my sister-in-law for the first time in two years! She returns next Sunday for a longer stay in Paris. Hopefully by that time our shipment will have arrived and this place will be up and running for real…

of course, no Nate desk set-up would be complete without a box of tissues! Your place looks cute - I can't wait to visit some day!
